Poncho!

jody

I picked up the poncho again this weekend and zoomed thru the rest of the back. It is a really fun little stitch pattern. And I love the weight it has from the Berocco Cotton Twist. But even on big honkin 10mm needles it still splits occasionally!
Here’s a full shot. It’s hard to photograph well.

And a closeup. This is truer to color:

It’s very drapey so I ended up making the neck about 7 inches wide. I think it will stretch out. And if it doesn’t I’ll just leave off a couple extra inches when sewing up the front and back.
I’ve been getting alot of hits from google searching for Colinette Poncho. I suspect many of them are looking for the multi-yarn Colinette poncho that alot of people have been making this season. However, if you’re looking for the pattern I used I do plan to post it here when I’m done. I may make some changes to the neckline of the front so I’m not quite ready to post it yet. If you are interested in the pattern please leave me a comment and I can send out an email when it’s done.
In other poncho news, have you seen SequinK’s Ponchofication of Charlotte? It’s really cool. I would never wear a shawl but a Charlotte Poncho. Hmmm….only 5 hanks of Koigu, right?

  1. I’m definitely interested in the pattern for that poncho, it looks great! I frogged the one I was making completely the other night. Crochet just wasn’t working out for me.

  3. I love the idea of using Koigu for a poncho. I’m not a shawl-wearing person either…I love your idea so much that I wrote a post about it! Thanks for the info.
    Your poncho looks great. I love the colors.

  4. Thanks for the props! I love working with the Koigu, and the Charlotte lace pattern is fun. And if you decide to give it a shot (which you should!) the Ponchofication took slightly more yarn than the Charlotte shawl (seven rather than five), and I used only three colors.

  6. I’m a newbie to the wonderful world of knitting and I must say… I’M HOOKED!!!! I’ve got the scarf thing down and would love to make a poncho. Yours is the prettiest I’ve seen, big kudos to you!! Do share the pattern!!!

  7. I love your poncho – i have some enigma waiting in line for an inspiration – am looking forward to seeing your pattern. thanks for offering it!

  8. please email me when you post the poncho — the stitch looks beautiful. my mom has been asking for a summery poncho since the spring and i haven’t been able to find a pattern that fits the description of something she saw someone wear at an atlanta yarn mart event.

  18. Hey Savannah-
    I would love this poncho pattern – I too am not usually what I consider a “poncho girl” but I have been eyeing the colinette ribbon and think I’ll have to succumb to it on my next trip to the yarn shop.
    Thanks,
    Dawn

  19. I would love to have this Colinette Poncho pattern if you would please e-mail it to me. I love Colinette yarns and I am trying to find all the poncho patterns that I can get. I have one that I can share with you if you like.
